WASHINGTON D.C., August 7, 2014 – PwC US today announced it has appointed Terri McClements as the firm’s new Washington Metro Market Managing Partner. In her new role, she leads over 3,200 professionals serving public, private, and government clients in a geographic area, including the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Baltimore. She succeeds Chris Simmons, who retired.

“I look forward to creating opportunities for our people and showcasing PwC’s value as an outstanding service provider, employer, and corporate citizen in the D.C. Metro region, from Richmond to Baltimore,” noted McClements. “I’ve had exceptional experiences at PwC, including the opportunity to lead the transformation of PwC’s talent strategies in the US and around the world.”

McClements previously served as PwC’s US Human Capital (HC) leader and Global Talent leader, as well as a member of the US Leadership Team.

Under her leadership, Vault.com ranked PwC as both the #1 overall accounting firm and #1 in prestige for the second year in a row.

“Terri has been instrumental in continuing to develop and grow our talent,” said Bob Moritz, PwC’s chairman and senior partner. "Her innovative thinking, passion, and commitment to excellence made her a natural fit to lead our Washington Metro market."

McClements has advised top executives across multiple industries, including telecommunications, hospitality, and private equity.
